Starbucks

Starbucks

Even though they launched just last year, Starbucks have mushroomed all over the city. The cafes are usually sprawling, air conditioned, cushy and have wi-fi so you’ll have all the comfort you need while working. And once you order in a cuppa or two and find your own little corner, the good folks at Starbucks will just let you be. Our favourite branch to work out of is the Indiranagar one where you can take your coffee to the upstairs section and work in peace, especially during weekdays.

The Yogisthaan Cafe

Boss making you crawl up the wall? Then, head to Yogisthaan to find your zen. Surrounded by potted plants, you can stretch out on comfy cushions while healthy burgers, smoothies, and salads make their way to you.

The Ants Cafe & Store

If you’d like an early start to your day, then Ants Cafe serves a killer breakfast. Tuck into plates of sausages, eggs sunny-side up, and baked beans while you gear up for work. You can also sneak in some retail therapy at the boutique downstairs.

Cafe Coffee Day

The popular coffee chain has plenty of outlets where you can spend hours huddled over your laptop. Fellow busy-bees surround you, so you don’t feel far from a workplace environment. Hot and cold coffees, fizzy refreshers, and plates of sandwiches provide sustenance.

Barista Lavazza

Another one of those coffee chains, Barista is a haven for working professionals. You can schedule a meeting or work on that urgent spreadsheet while gorging on everything from stuffed sandwiches to cake pops.

Matteo Coffea

Walk into this happening coffeehouse for a day’s work. You might have to plug in those earphones to tune out the chatter. Do try their Arabica coffees, wraps, and chocolate-filled desserts that will keep you energised through the day.

Koshy’s

An age-old institution, Koshy’s is ideal for serious discussions on work while sipping mugs of beer or good old filter coffee. When your mind wanders, you can listen in on the intellectual conversations on everything from the Syrian crisis to last night’s cricket match that float around.

Desserted

Pamper your sweettooth as you frantically race towards your deadline at this quaint cafe. You can sip on pots of tea and chomp down on cakes, tarts, and Continental breakfast treats.

Costa Coffee

This UK coffee chain is know for its hospitality and their ability to leave you alone to your day’s business. Once you order their coffees perked up with hazelnut, caramel or vanilla flavours and tuck into a giant sized cherry and almond muffin, you should be ready enough to sift through your day’s joblist.

Cafe Pascucci

The Italian chain not only offers free wi-fi but also great thin-crust wood fired pizzas {Sundried Tomato Pesto or Classic Margherita} and some superior coffee. Try their yoghurt mousse topped cappuccinos or their Cappuccino Argentino, espresso topped with hot foamed milk and drizzled with Dolce di Latte, an Argentinian version of milk caramel and nibble on Almond Biscotti on the side.
